Getting a nanny job for Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's brood, for which the couple spend 1million dollars every year, is not an easy task.
According to gossip website Popeater, an applicant for the coveted childcare position should possess no less than a college degree in education or child development, the ability to speak at least two languages, (including the native language of the child) and a penchant for travelling, reports News.com.au.
Each Junior Jolie-Pitt has their own personal nanny, despite the fact that that they are rarely spotted with the children.
The nanny must also love airports and be willing to split their time between California, New Orleans, France and a number of movie sets dotted all over the world.
As all six kids are home-schooled ensuring the lucky applicant is prepared to put on their teacher's hat.
The position reportedly pays between $50,000 and $150,000 on a sliding scale dependant on length of employment.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have donated $150,000 to a children's charity.
The couple gave the sum to SOS Children's Villages, USA - which supports adoptive families and highlights the needs of children without parental care - in recognition of National Adoption Day through their Jolie-Pitt Foundation.
Dr. Heath Paul, CEO of SOS Children's Villages, USA, said: "I am truly thankful that Angelina and Brad understand the power of family - the kind of stable family that SOS holds as an essential part of healthy child development.
Together, Angelina and Brad have been eye-witnesses to the great work of SOS Children's Villages in Ethiopia, Jordan, a Darfur refugee camp in Chad and Haiti. Angelina and Brad know that children's need for a family is universal. The donation from the couple - who have adopted three children, Maddox, nine, Pax, six, and Zahara, five, as well as three other kids, Shiloh, four, and two-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne - will provide the long-term financial support needed for a family of four foster children in one of the US SOS Children's Villages.
Last year, the couple donated $100,000 to two of the organisation's centres in Florida and Illinois after being impressed by their work.
Angelina said of the generous gift: "We have seen firsthand the remarkable job SOS does to raise orphaned and abandoned children and keep families together. No one 'ages out' of an SOS Village: vocational training, advanced education, living assistance and moral support are there forever."
The SOS Villages house over 200 children and last Christmas Brad insisted it was important to show gratitude for the work the organisation does.
He said: "In this holiday season, many of us take for granted that we are surrounded by loving family members. The poor outcomes for foster children indicate that we must do a much better job of supporting them."
It was revealed last year Brad and Angelina donated $6.8 million to charity in 2008 after raising the money through their Jolie-Pitt Foundation.
Former Friends star Jennifer Aniston was shocked when she once received a letter from actress Angelina Jolie. According to reports, Jolie, who raises six children with Aniston’s ex-husband Brad Pitt, decided to reach out to her in an attempt to put an end to their long-running feud.
"Angelina doesn’t want any more bad energy in her life and she hates the hostility that exists between her and Jen," showbizspy.co.uk quoted a source as saying.
"It’s taken her a very long time to work up the courage, but she’s coming from a good place and genuinely wants to put the past behind them," the source said.
"It may seem crazy, but for those of us who actually know Angelina, it really isn’t all that surprising. She’s an unpredictable character, so for her to reach out to Jen like this is just the sort of behavior she’s known for."
"In the note, Angie tells Jen that she would make a wonderful mother and that she’s at the perfect age and time of her life to have her first child. What’s more, Brad is fully behind her. He’s so proud of Angie for reaching out to Jen," the source added.
The source further said that when Aniston opened Jolie's note, she was "beyond shocked. I think she suspected at first that it must have been sent as some kind of a prank."
"Still, when Jen realised Angie’s letter was sincere and genuine, she actually went from shocked to being impressed. Being a mature person, Jen must have recognized how much of an effort it was on Angie’s part to have gone through with the letter," the source added.
Angelina Jolie is giving the readers of Vanity Fair magazine a sexy treat by appearing in a raunchy photo spread in the upcoming issue of the magazine. The ‘Tomb Raider’ star not only graces the cover, she will be seen smoky-eyed and sexy inside the magazine's August issue in a series of steamy photos by Patrick Demarchelier
And in an interview to the publication, the 33-year-old actress assured that, contrary to tabloid reports, there's no trouble in paradise for Brangelina. "I feel fortunate to have a relationship where I actually feel safe enough to imagine growing old together," the New York Post quoted her as saying of her pairing with Brad Pitt, 46.
In fact, she is not even a bit put off by Pitt's cringe-inducing scraggly beard. "I love Brad in every state," she insisted. The mother of six also gushed about her latest action flick, ‘Salt’, saying she was pleased with tweaks to the script. Her role was originally intended for a male, Tom Cruise-type lead. "We made her meaner than a guy, and dirty. It's the Chihuahua up against the big dogs," said Jolie.
Actor George Clooney has jokingly said that he’s planning to adopt some of Brad Pitt’s kids. The 'Fantastic Mr. Fox' actor, who has no kids of his own, has claimed that he owes Pitt a favour and is willing to help out with his six children.
"I am planning to adopt. I am going to adopt some of Brad Pitt's kids. I owe him," Contactmusic quoted him as saying. Previously, the actor revealed that he has no plans to become a father, but spends time with Brad and his partner Angelina Jolie and their kids whenever he feels lonely.
"Even one kid running around my villa makes me nervous, so I'm definitely not a candidate for father of the year.
If I need to surround myself with children and feel like I have this big extended family, I can always call Brad and Angelina and ask them to stay with me, just to remind myself why I'm so happy," he said.
Brad Pitt takes a first class Air France Flight back to LAX airport in Los Angeles on Thursday (July 30).
Meanwhile, Angelina Jolie was seen landing her plane at the Bob Hope Airport after an hour and 28 minute flying lesson from Las Vegas. Her sons Maddox, 7, and Pax, 5, were reportedly on board and on hand for the Sin City trip.
The Hollywood Amazon Angelina Jolie leaped over Oprah Winfrey to top Forbes magazines list of most powerful celebrities and what a way to celebrate her 34th birthday. Forbes says Angelina Jolie made $27 million last year to overtake Oprah who is now second on the list, followed by Madonna, Beyoncé, and Tiger Woods. Angelina’s hubby Brad Pitt, is at No. 9.

Brad Pitt is extracting himself from the tabloid love triangle. The actor says his relationship with current flame Angelina Jolie began sometime after splitting from Jennifer Aniston.
In October, Jolie revealed that she and Pitt fell in love while making the 2005 film "Mr. & Mrs. Smith." In November, Aniston called Jolie's comments "really uncool," because she was married to Pitt while the movie was in production.
Pitt sets the record straight in a story posted on W magazine's Web site Wednesday, defending both women and insisting that his relationship with Jolie didn't begin until after he and ex-wife Aniston split in 2005.
"Jen is a sweetheart," Pitt tells the magazine for its Jan. 20 issue. "I think she got dragged into that one, and then there's a second round to all that Angie versus Jen. It's so created.
"What people don't understand is that we filmed ("Mr. & Mrs. Smith") for a year. We were still filming after Jen and I split up," he continues. "Even then it doesn't mean that there was some kind of dastardly affair. There wasn't. I'm very proud of the way that it was handled. It was respectful."
Pitt says he and Aniston "still check in with each other."
"She was a big part of my life, and me hers," he says. "I don't see how there cannot be (that). That's life, man."
Hollywood celebrities Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie is said to have tied the knot in a secret wedding ceremony held in the French Quarter Wedding Chapel last Saturday afternoon. Sources tell that the couple, who is expecting twins this summer, had a planned intimate wedding ceremony. I still don't know if rumors are true about their wedding ceremony. Let's personally hear it from the couple, if they really had the this planned celebration pursued. Well Brad and Angelina are happily in loved couples so they are of course expected to tie the knot sooner or later. To Brad and Angie, hope you two have a long lasting relationship together. Cheers!
I wonder if the couple would be interested in having their own website, I mean they are said to be newly weds so they should have a Jolie-Pitt official family website or something, which fans could visit, to know the latest happenings and updates about the lovely couple. Will you be interested about the idea that fans will soon know when and where they will see or hear about their idols?
Brad Pitt and his son Pax went out for a ride in a 4x4 cart in downtown New Orleans. Aww! How sweet a bonding moment with his son on New Year's Eve day. If by chance, the Pitt family would visit here in the Philippines, I would like to see Brad driving a tricycle (a 3-wheel motor cab used as a commute vehicle) Wouldn't it be lovely to see the family riding altogether in a passenger-type cab? LOL A lot of smiles and a lot of sweat for Brad as he maneuvers the motor cab...hahaha
The Pitt family, Angelina, Brad, and three of their kids Maddox, Pax, and Zahara were seen at the AMC Palace Theater in New Orleans, Louisiana Wednesday afternoon. Jolie and Pitts were accompanied to the movies by not one, but two bodyguards. After seeing the movie, The Water Horse, the couple and their kids headed to KFC for some drive-thru chicken.
Wait! Where's baby Shiloh is she MIA? Looks like she's left behind at home with her babysitter. She's supposed to be a part of the happy Pitt family. Maybe she's too young to be watching the movies anyways.
Getting a nanny job for Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's brood, for which the couple spend 1million dollars every year, is not an easy task.
